*At the same time, I feel in my own mind as far as I am concerned, I feel that Lee—that my husband perhaps intended to kill Governor Connally instead of President Kennedy.
Representative Boggs. Now, let me ask you one other question: Assuming that this is correct, would you feel that there would be any less guilt in killing Governor Connally than in killing the President?*
*Mrs. Oswald. I am not trying to vindicate or justify or excuse Lee as my husband. Even if he killed one of his neighbors, still it wouldn't make much difference—it wouldn't make any difference—a killing is a killing. I am sorry.
Representative Boggs. There are one or two other questions I want to ask her.
I know you've been asked a lot of questions about this thing. How old were you when you left Russia?*
Mrs. Oswald. Twenty years. My birthday—I was 21 when I came here. In July—my birthday was in July.
Representative Boggs. Were you a member of the Communist Party in Russia?*
Mrs. Oswald. No.
*I was a member of a Komsomol organization.
Representative Boggs. What is that?*
